Southeastern Wisconsin – Downtown Milwaukee Intermodal Station

The success of a balanced transportation system and the economic, social, and environmental benefits that come with it hinge on efficient, accessible connections between modes of transportation.  Renovations being made to the downtown Milwaukee train station seek to achieve such connections.

The Milwaukee Intermodal Station project consists of a $5.4 million public/private partnership overhauling the existing Milwaukee Amtrak Station.  The key feature of the project is that Amtrak passenger rail service will be linked with intercity and regional bus, Milwaukee County Transit, and taxi and limousine service.  These linkages are particularly important considering the extension of Amtrak service to General Mitchell Airport currently under construction.  Additionally, the project includes the development of commercial and office space.  The projected completion date for the project is mid-2005.
